Got Orders: Going to Germany!

[Djmack]

So, i recently received some new orders to germany, I'll be there for a few years. I was really considering bringing my jeep out there, (Military vehicle shipping is free) Because my truck is to big and consumes to much fuel. Now, People have convinced me that my jeep will consume to much fuel at a €1,60/liter ≈ $8.00/gal, Thats just to much.

So, Looks like i'm just going to have to settle for buying an XJ over there with a 2.5L Turbo Diesel. It estimates roughly 35mpg.

So, With this being said, I won't be seeing yall at sierra fest anytime soon. I definitely had fun the last 2 years i went out there, made a few friends....... made it past gate keeper. lol

There is one thing though. I have the FSM and all the know how to work on my "American" jeep. Does anyone know of any place i can get decent information and "facts-sheets" about the euroXJ's?

AAFES Gas is based off of the US national average. You can purchase vouchers for ESSO (major german gas station) fuel on base at the national average rate.

Have fun, get out of the barracks. See the damn country not just the clubs.

4 years Hohenfels, Germany.

That's what i hear, about the gas. I have family spread all through germany, I have plans to visit all over. And my mom tells me to get out and visit the surrounding countries.. I think i'll take her advice. As for the barracks, According to Ramstein AFB's site, E-4+ with 3+ years live off base. We'll see.

OH, As for my CTD, I'm giving it to my dad for the 3 years i plan to be gone. I think i'll be sending the jeep with it back to texas.

Good riddance. Can't wait for you to see your new interior options when you get back from Germany.

 

[Djmack]

So, the jeep made it to Germany and PASSED INSPECTION! I also bought a small BMW to putt around in for mpg's.
